End Of The World!: Is This Some Sort Of Joke On Everybody Or Is There Something Far More Nefarious Going On?

Maybe I watch far too much television. Maybe that when I watch television.......there are certain things that jump right out and cause me to wonder. And often, I end up wondering if anybody else is taking notice of things........well.......at least some of the things that I see as strange as if there is some sort of joke being put upon everyone.

Consider the most recent US Supreme Court nominee.......you know who I am referring to..........the woman who has never been a judge before..........the one that Obama wants..........Elena Kagan.

At first I thought she looked awfully familiar......sort of a cross between Mama Cass and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.............Can you see what I mean by that?...............but then I wasn't satisfied with that description because I know I have seen this person before........many times......so many times that it is almost creepy. As I say..........she looks awfully familiar.

So then this guy is on the news........he is the newly elected Governor Christie of New Jersey............and here we go............he looks like Kagan........no, wait........Kagan looks like Christie..........

........and then this other guy named Frank Luntz, a pollster for Fox News, appears on my tv...........and wouldn't you know it?..........Luntz looks like Kagan too......or should I say that Kagan looks like Luntz?

It's not just the tv, either...........I was listening to some progressive rock.........in particular, the band known as Marillion........and I decided to do a little research on that group and I watched some videos and went to their website..............and of course, I ran across this guy:

..........This is Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery..............and..........you got it............Rothery looks just like Kagan........or maybe Kagan looks just like Rothery. So how is it that this Kagan woman looks like so many other people that look like she does? Hmmmmmm...........any guesses?

.........maybe its the ham sandwiches.

On another note........

I was retrieving some change that was on our dining room table the other day and I noticed that the pennies looked very new and shiny.........and that caused me to have a closer look at them.

So this is what I see...............no more Lincoln Memorial on the back. It has been replaced with what looks to me like cheap clip art. This is so bad that it looks like they got the idea fromthe Captain America shield.

So when did all of this happen?........I watch the news every day and I had not seen any mention that the penny was going to "change" along with just about everything else. Whose bright idea was this?.......and who said we could afford the cost involved for this makeover of the penny?

I do not like it......it looks cheaper than what it is worth..........and the kicker is that the penny actually costs more than a penny to make each penny.......go figure.

I think we are all existing in a big joke.
